Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:36:01 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14294Unfortunately the old logo and colors are actually owned by the franchise in Phoenix. I still don’t know why they just didn’t allow that franchise to be moved back to Winnipeg a year ago.

Personally, if the US can’t win something, I tend to root for Canada. I won’t let this guy change that, but I’ll remind him that Vancouver lost recently in a pretty big sporting event. To a team based in the US. Just saying.

Sun, 24 Jul 2011 00:49:40 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14256The logo is a fail. Bring the team back and then do this drastic a change? Why. The response to keeping the name the Jets should’ve been the cue to this ownership that fans want back what they had. A slightly freshened up version of the classic Jets logo is what should’ve happened. This looks something like if the Phillies and Blue Jays merged.

Sun, 24 Jul 2011 00:03:07 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14252Well, I don’t know much about it, but they said they have strong ties to the Canadian Air Force too. If you’re a hockey team and it’s a choice between a pacifist logo and a military inspired one, I think that’s an easy call. The Winnipeg PeaceMakers would be singularly unsuccessful, imho of course.

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:44:02 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14250I like it. And it’s symmetry really appeals to me. However, I am neither Canadian nor a Jets fan. In my opinion the old one was only slightly better than some of the ABA crap from the late sixties and early seventies. And you have to like the fact that the Mapel Leaf is prominent. I really dig the fact that you see a red maple leaf and think Canada. That’s brand recognition. Canada, the Jets are back! Best wishes.

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:20:37 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14245classic idea, although it also projects a staid and stale vibe. it does beat the atrocious attempts by the nfl jets to build a brand with the same nickname. however, considering that manitoba has a significant religious community with pacifist views, will the military imagery alienate a portion of the potential market? especially for a franchise that doesn’t have much elbow room in terms of a population base.

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:52:08 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14244Props on honoring the Canadian Royal Air Force with the new logo, but the color scheme is subdued to the point of being boring, and I agree that there is an unfinished “clip art” feel to the overall design of it. I’m glad that they didn’t further conflate old and new Jets by adopting the old logo or something similar. It’s good that they’re going in a completely different direction. The maple leaf seems a bit silly, but isn’t too surprising considering the “this team’s CANADIAN now” publicity surrounding the relocation. Overall, I think it’s one of the most boring logos I’ve ever seen in NHL hockey. However, this could easily be solved with a strong jersey design.

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:47:26 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14243What’s the name of the company that bought the Jets? In what direction is the jet pointing. You bet, true north.

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 18:12:03 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14239This is exactly what I knew would happen. The new jets theme would not be nearly as nice as the old jerseys. Thats why Ifelt they had to go back to the old jerseys if they were going to remain the Jets. Or come up with a completely new jersey color and team name. Any jets fan buying these jerseys overthe old ones I will politely call blind when it comes to jersey fashion.

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 18:03:00 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14238I personally hate it. I mean, if you’re going to use the Winnipege Jets name, at least show respect to the heritage. do something that hearkens back to the old logo, but you don’t have to copy it.

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 14:08:14 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14232The alternates are both better. In fact the primary looks like it should be a shoulder patch or something.

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 13:36:09 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=43762#comment-14231As a casual hockey fan in Indiana, I like the primary logo. But the two secondary should also be used for merchandise and maybe an alternate uni. When currency parity becomes a thing of the past Winnipeg will need the merchandise sales.

Idiotic comment on part!

And yeah we love the Maple Leaf on stuff, especially when we’re beating people wearing the stars and stripes!
